🌍 Where is weed actually legal in Europe? (2026 update)
Spoiler: it's not as simple as "legal" or "illegal." 👇
🟢 Fully legal: Malta 🇲🇹, Luxembourg 🇱🇺 & Germany 🇩🇪 — but tourists still can't legally buy it in any of these
🟡 Decriminalized (not legal, but tolerated): Portugal 🇵🇹, Spain 🇪🇸 & Czech Republic 🇨🇿 — small amounts won't get you arrested, but selling still can
🔴 Still fully illegal: France 🇫🇷, Sweden 🇸🇪, Hungary 🇭🇺 & Finland 🇫🇮 — fines and jail time are real risks here
☕ Bonus: The Netherlands hasn't "legalized" weed — it's just tolerated via coffeeshops. Big difference.
👀 Watching closely: Switzerland's pilot program + Czech Republic's plans to legalize non-medical use
📌 Save this before your next Euro trip — the rules change country to country (and even city to city).
